Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Sparta Rotterdam vs AZ Alkmaar
Sparta Rotterdam finished their 2021/22 season with a flourish winning all of their final three matches. With that run, the Red-White Gladiators escaped relegation that haunted them throughout the last season. Obviously, their defense was a big problem having conceded a goal in 79% of their fixtures.
A 0-0 draw to start the season in the previous round against Heerenveen was not a surprise. Notably, coach Maurice Steijn’s team drew twice last season against Heerenveen. In their last four matches, Sparta averaged 1.85 goals per game which was much higher than their season average of 0.88 goals per game.
AZ Alkmaar’s season last term can be divided into three parts. Firstly, the Cheese Farmers had a very slow start losing four of their first five fixtures. Then from round 12 till 23, AZ put on an amazing run of 11 wins and three draws and beat all three top teams in the Netherlands.
However, that was followed by another slump that resulted in AZ winning just two of their final nine games. For the current season, coach Pascal Jansen will be happy with his team’s start as they beat the Go ahead Eagles by 2-0 and looked very solid in all departments.
Sparta Rotterdam vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction
This can be a tricky trip for AZ but they have drawn their last games in Rotterdam against Sparta. As a result, we prefer to pick a combo bet of a draw or away win and both teams score.
